Three of our four kids are sick, my wife is sick and I am struggling emotionally from all the things that are taking place this morning. then I asked my wife if we could apply for medicare and there was an attitude from her and I asked why the attitude and she said that she felt that I had one. This is crazy, and something that wouldn't really bother me if I was working because we could take her to the doctor and not have to worry about a ton of money going out, we could get them medicine without a thousand dollar co-pay (exaggeration). I really need to go pray about these thing!
The scriptures tell me this morning that God is faithful (2 Timothy 2:13) also that Paul went through a lot of persecutions and sufferings and so do I. I have to go through them so that my faith will increase in the Lord
2 Timothy 3:10-15 (New International Version)
You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

I want to be wise in Christ.
~Talk to me~
I appreciate your vulnerability... I'm praying for you guys and you are in my heart. I love you, and I am confident God is going to take care of you. Here is a scripture that has really encouraged me:
ReplyDelete"[What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord, be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord." Psalm 27:13-14 AMP
I like this scripture because we need to live in expectation of the good that God is going to bring into our lives. God will do it, have a heart of expectation of recieving goodness from God.
I love you a lot. Give me a call when you have time. xoxoxoxo!
